Investment Strategy

Performance at Every Stage

NEA builds companies from the start, adding value and offering guidance through all stages of growth. Every company we fund is backed by the full weight of our intellectual and financial capital.

NEA is a classic venture capital firm with a unique ability to support entrepreneurial activity in multiple contexts. While a majority of our investments focus on companies in the early stages of development, a significant portion of our dollars are invested in what we call Venture Growth Equity opportunities. 

With tremendous expertise in building early-stage companies and an unparalleled capital base, NEA is uniquely qualified to invest in venture opportunities at all points of development—to deliver performance at every stage.

Capital is Important, but Knowledge Makes the Difference

The experience and diversity of NEA's domain expertise allows us to focus on three industries - Information Technology, Healthcare and Energy Technology - and a wide range of sectors within each. This robust focus has allowed us to develop a rich understanding of the sciences, businesses and markets in which our portfolio companies operate. We have helped hundreds of companies navigate treacherous waters to achieve greatness.

With NEA as a partner, companies have chosen a top-tier team that is exceptionally knowledgeable in the industry. At NEA we devote our considerable leverage and experience to ensure our businesses succeed.
 

Global Reach

While NEA makes a majority of its investments in the United States, we do have a global reach. We invest in great companies around the world and have a specific focus in China and India. NEA is one of the few firms capable of delivering performance across multiple domains, stages and geographies.
